Eighty students -- 15 extra than planned -- have enrolled for the two-week optional subject for law students in July. "There were still people inquiring for a spot," said Adelaide Law School Associate Professor Paul Babie, who established the new law elective subject at the University of Adelaide. "We even had one person from the University of Western Australia Law School apply to enroll in the subject." Associate Professor Babie, who is also a priest of the Ukraine Catholic Church in Australia, said the good response was indicative of today's law students prepared to look with a broader lens at the meaning of law in a social context. He said the subject would explore the interaction between law and religion in society by examining freedom of religion under constitutional documents, such as a bill of rights, or other legislative protections; the separation of church and state under the Australian and other constitutional systems; and religious legal systems, including Canon law and Islamic law. The new law subject builds on the success of a subject on Roman Law taught at the university in 2005, 2007 and 2009 by Associate Professor Babie and Adelaide Archdiocese Judicial Vicar Father Kevin Taylor. The new subject is part of a plan to encourage research into the relationship between religion and justice following the establishment in 2007 of the University of Adelaide Research Unit for the Study of Society, Law and Religion (RUSSLR). RUSSLR is headed by Associate Professor Babie. Religion and law in high demand POPULAR: Adelaide University Adelaide Law School Associate Professor Paul Babie has established a subject on law and religion which is in high demand.

In his retirement Mass homily at St Christopher's Cathedral, Manuka, Bishop Power said he would be "leaving aside the burdens of meetings and bureaucracy...freer to support my brother priests and deacons who are hanging in there for the long haul, to catch up with other friends and family members and to have a special outreach to those on the outer, both in terms of the Church and the wider community." "I hope that in this Year of Grace as we celebrate the 50 years since the beginning of the Second Vatican Council, we may reclaim what it means to be part of the People of God and to help the Church be its best self in showing the face of Jesus to every person in our midst." After becoming a bishop at 44, Bishop Power left the role at 70 as the longest-serving Australian bishop. The Federal Government has been urged to tackle the phenomenon of asylum seekers at its source following the tragic loss of life in another capsised vessel attempting to reach Australia. The Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office (ACMRO) Director Fr Maurizio Pettenà said the Government should explore alternative measures which would allow a number of these people who were most at risk to depart in an orderly fashion directly from countries of conflict and persecution and then be processed in Australia. "Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Sri Lanka all feature in the top 20 countries at risk of serious human rights violations and mass killings," he said. "The decision to get on a boat in order to seek asylum is not made by someone who has any other choice." Boat tragedy call Bishop retires
